Smashed said: Didn't sign. Used to play CoD1 on PC years back. Never bought a CoD game on PC since that one, been buying consoles.
Reason I didn't sign is because we've been playing on non dedicated servers on consoles, it isn't all that bad, we've had to deal with it, so why can't you? Just get over it.. Such a stupid reason not to buy the game. |
So instead of getting "Modern Warfare" and playing matches from 12v12 to 25v25 players in size, complete with plenty of server mods if needed to slightly re-balance the game to the size and environment, we get : " Modern Squad Skirmish" with a max of 8v8 when you are lucky enough to find a stable host with a good enough home internet connection and PC who doesnt also happen to be a raging asshat - and you call it a stupid reason not to buy the game?
I dont see why you dont demand IW to allow DS on consoles, instead of telling us to be happy about getting a lesser product. Biggest reason I dont play much console multiplayer is the terrible lag and difficulty finding good games. After being a primarily PC gamer for so long, my standards are just to high with regards to what constitutes a good place to play online.
Overall, it is true though that PC sales for CoD4 though good were still far less than console sales. I think console sales were about 14 million while PC sales were less than 2 million. Its just too large of a disparity, so they can effectivly fire their PC fanbase with little immediate effects. At least 500k ppl or so who dont pay attention to online news or FPS forums or play in MMO clans etc will NOT get the memo and buy MW2 anyhow unknowing that unlike the previous game, the multiplayer experience is going to suck. And IW will still make some money off the PC. Ofc the issue is, they think those 500k will liek their new "consolified" experience and they will get more players over time. This is where they are wrong, I am looking forward to the second wave of hate on IW to start with double intensity on launch day as hundreds of thousands of folk who didnt get the memo flood the internet in a rage that MW2 multiplayer does indeed suck balls, is totally different, and they got suckered.
It should be pretty comical tbh.
